Jasmine helps build a rectangular flower bed for her mother. The area of the bed is 87.5 square feet if the length of the bed is 12.5 feet, what is the width

1 answer

To find the width of the flower bed, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

We know the length is 12.5 feet and the area is 87.5 square feet, so we can substitute those values into the formula to solve for the width:

87.5 = 12.5 x width

Dividing both sides by 12.5 gives:

width = 7

So the width of the flower bed is 7 feet.
